Music Magazine Front Cover Analysis Evaluation
My analysis enabled me to identify tools that other music magazines used which are effective. Therefore I shall use the tools that I found for example a colour scheme that fits the style of the magazine and has connotations linking towards the genre, in my own design for my music magazine front cover in order to make it as effective and as high quality as possible. In addition each of the magazines I analysed used a variety of different conventions however each of them featured a main image regarding the band or individual artist that was involved in the feature article for that in particular issue of the magazine. Moreover each of the magazines featured cover lines relevant to articles within the text, however the feature article for each magazine was the largest and most distinctive and often was written in a different colour and size. I believe all of the magazines used these features because it gives the front covers a professional appearance which will reflect on the magazine publisher as a whole and entice the reader to actually read through the magazine due to its attractive appearance.
Music Magazine Contents Page Analysis Evaluation
My analysis enabled me to identify tools that other music magazines used on their own contents pages and how they are effective. Therefore I shall use the tools that I found for example page numbers, in my own design for my music magazine contents page, in order to make it as effective and as high quality as possible. In addition each of the magazines I analysed used a variety of different conventions however each of them featured a main image of something that regarded the feature article for example a member of the band that is being covered, also the main image used on each contents page was linked to the main article within the magazine with the use of a page number. I will apply this feature to my own contents page because I believe that it is effective in terms of enticing the reader to actually read through the magazine because of the interest caused by the main image. Moreover the first and last magazines used their own personalised welcoming messages from the editor on their contents pages along with a clear colour scheme that was consistent with the rest of the magazine and used well in order to make individual features stand out more for example heading, they used both of these features because they both give the contents page a professional appearance, the professional appearance will reflect on the magazine as a whole and entice the reader to actually read through the magazine due to it looking high quality and serious.
Music Magazine Double page spread Analysis Evaluation
My analysis enabled me to identify tools that other music magazines used on their own double page spreads and how they are effective. Therefore I shall use the tools that I found for example all of the three double page spreads are predominantly consumed by images, in my own design for my music magazine contents page, in order to make it as effective and as high quality as possible. In addition each of the magazines I analysed used a variety of different conventions however each of them featured a larger and more main image and placed it on the left side of the spread making it the focal point for the reader, this is an effective tool because a reader will become instantly drawn to the spread and the predominant use of images partners this well because even if readers don't read the article they will still be kept entertained by the vast quantity of images. I will apply this feature to my own contents page because I believe that it is effective in terms of enticing the reader to actually read through the article because of the interest caused by the main image.
